🚨BREAKING: PETE HEGSETH DEMANDS EUROPE SAY THANK YOU TO TRUMP
English
Fox’s @GillianHTurner: “Overnight, Iran launched missiles across the Gulf. They managed to hit the Saudi oil refinery on the Red Sea. What does it mean that they have that capability now, three weeks into the war? And Mr. Secretary, you mentioned civilian infrastructure. Iran seems to be treating us diplomatic outposts, embassies, consulates, like they are legitimate hard targets in the region. Now, what is the Pentagon doing to, I guess, secure those assets, stop those attacks?”
@SecWar: “Absolutely.”
Joint Chiefs Chairman General Caine: “Thanks for the question. On the missile strikes, you know, as we said and have always said, clearly, they came into this fight with a lot of weapons. This is why we continue to be as aggressive and assertive as we can against their ballistic missile capability, both their medium-range ballistic missile capability and their short-range missile capability. So, we are continuing to hunt and find them and kill them, and we will continue to do so. So, they still retain some capability. And we have layered defenses throughout the region that will allow us to protect those. And we’re working with our partners across the Gulf region to help them improve any defensive capabilities that they may need.”
Hegseth: “To that point on capabilities, you know, Iran is an energy rich country, could be should be instead, like so many other places, driven by a radical ideology, they’ve spent that money instead of investing in their people. That’s why you had millions of Iranians protesting, because they felt like their quality of life didn’t match what it could be or should be. And what was the Iranian state? There’s a reason we call Iran the number one state sponsor of terrorism, because they took the — the money they — they make and they invest it in tunnels, and they invested in missiles, and they invested in launchers and UABs. And we are destroying and degrading that, degrading that in historic proportions. But it doesn’t mean they won’t still and try to hold people at issue, which is why we’re — we’re fighting every single day to continue to compel. And you mentioned embassies and consulates, unlike previous administrations, we are doubling and tripling down on ensuring that our people, regardless of their Department of War, Department of State, whatever they do, are secure in those facilities. And the best defense is, is, is a good offense. And so, we’re not — we’re not afraid to go after and kill anybody. And we have a lot of them attempting to target our — our diplomatic facilities around. You know, we’re not — we’re not surprised that they would indiscriminately target. And we’re still seeing that.”

NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH." - @SecWar 🇺🇸
